Profile Picture question

Ok sorry this is a noob question but for some reason I cannot remember how to enable this. When making a phone call I used to have my background as the wallpaper and the a small profile picture of the person I am calling on the upper right corner. How do I enable this?! Thanks in advanced!!

Photos added in a PIM program (like outlook or Address Book) will have the small picture in the upper corner. Photos added on the iPhone itself will appear full screen.

  • Unable to change Profile picture in Windows 8

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.  The upgrade imported a picture from my Windows 7 Skype, and now I am unable to change the profile picture.  There is no menu at the top in Windows 8, which prevents me from changing the profile picture.
    What are my options for correcting this, and also how does one sign out of Skype in Windows 8?
    Thanks so much.

    Although I'd love to provide a proper response, unfortunately I too have only questions, which I'd hope someone could answer. "Opening Skype and clicking on the picture" isn't as helpful as one would hope. With Windows 8 -- in either mode, through either Google Chrome or IE10 -- there is not only no menu or options with either right or left clicking, but no clear way to change a profile picture through any other means. I've tried everything I could think of -- literally wasting HOURS trying to change this thing. Googling the question gets me only fixes that don't appear to apply. In fact, the lack of coherent help regarding anything having to do with Windows 8 is nothing short of mindboggling -- and I consider myself a pretty good finder-of-information normally!!! I read elsewhere in these forums (unfortunately lost to me now that I have signed in) that it may be a problem relating to whether my browser is 32 or 64 bit (if I read it right). I have since tried to load Chrome in 64 bit.... probably unsuccessfully, given I still can't seem to do much differently. Being a bit of a techno-dud I don't know how to check which version I now have as even with the "about:version" function, the reply isn't definitive to my untrained eye (unless WOW64 means something?). I need things somewhat dummied down. I'm totally new to both Windows 8 and Skype (and for that matter Google Chrome, having always been a Firefox fan, which apparently is not working properly for Windows . ANY help that might be available would be greatly appreciated in making this experience less frustrating. Thank you for whatever you can do!!!

  • Music App - Artist Profile Picture(s)?

    G'day all. I have a question i've longed wondered of since IOS 7 came out.
    Since the IOS 7 update, iTunes have set Artist 'Profile' pictures, meaning for each Artist, there is a goup photo showing who is in the band, e.g;
    Pink Floyd has David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright in a group photo.
    Linkin Park has Chester Bennington, Brad Delson, Mike Shinida, Rob Bourden, Pheonix and Joe Hahn.
    But there's other bands who don't have photos? Such as Aerosmith, Faith No More, Guns N' Roses, Icehouse and Johnny Cash (i have many more but yeah)
    Can someone explain why bands don't have a photo? Is it they weren't a noticeable enough band to have a photo? (not that GNR and all that aren't big :|)
    Cheers :)

    The bands you listed do have a picture in the iTunes Store. For some reason the Music app doesn't show those images. Usually when I open iTunes on my iPhone, the right artist images are shown, however not always.

  • Profile picture

    I wonder if someone could please help me - it's urgent! My husband was logged into his shared business account & walked off, leaving skype open at the mercy of my clever 3yr old son. I thought my boy was on my personal account & we began taking new profile pictures. By the time I noticed, our mummy&child picture was the corporate photo of my husband's boss's account. My husband has been asked to remove the photos, but I can't find anyway to do so or to replace it with telephone icons used in skype. This is very embarassing for me & my husband, any advice, please? If we can't remove the pictures, can we re-set the account? Please, I absolutely must sort this out - many thanks.

    Here's a new Skype avatar for you to use. Simply right-click on the picture and select "Save picture" an save it locally on your computer.
    Within Skype open from the menu "Skype -> Profile -> Change Your Picture".
    Then select "Browse..." and choose the picture you just saved.

  • Replace friends profile pictures with those in my contacts

    Hi, anybody here know how to replace friend's bbm profile pictures with those in contact phone book like those before BB10?
    On my 9700 & 9780, I can link a BBM contact with my phonebook contact, and I'd an option to use phonebook contact picture foe the BBM contact.
    Anyone got it working or it's just another function discarded by BB10?

    Do you see profile pictures for any of your contacts at all? Or is it that you only see it for selected ones?
    All those that don't show a profile picture to you (but you've confirmed with them that they have one) can you check that right-clicking on their contact the menu doesn't show a "Resend contact request" option?

  • Why do some of my contacts profile pictures appear as a blue square after syncing with facebook?

    Hi,
    After syncing facebook friends with contacts, some of the profile pictures in contacts are replaced with a blue square.
    Any ideas?

    Greetings. Allow me to expand, please. I downloaded pictures from internet, as a collection with different themes directly from Internet. I only downloaded jpeg files or images. I organized my themes by folders on my desktop, then I copied some of them in a small 250gb external hard drive… But that´s just incidental.  Whenever i had a folder of images that I wanted to play as a presentation, I just dragged the folder to the Iphoto main page and Iphoto just copies them and makes a file under the same name as the original folder. Of course I also have images of my own production, which are my main concern. But threee or four times, Iphoto said that I had inconsistencies in my pictures and I just had to agree to fix them. This operation could take up to a couple of hours por more...
    But since I installed Yosemite, this glitch or question of inconsistencies, has not happened again, but somtimes, as I scroll through the folders in Iphoto, to edit some of the images or delete them, some of them become just a dotline square… I cannot see the image anymore, and when I do a presentation of the folders, these blaced out images appear in the show, as a black square or screen. I hope this information helps to answer your questions… Thank you for helping me.

  • How to change guest profile picture on Macbook Air?

    There are two accounts on my MacBook air: My one, and a guest one. I understand that you can set a profile picture to come up on the log in screen for my account, and I would like to do the same for the guest account. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    The guest user icon is a PNG file stored deep within OS X. I don't recommend you change operating system components that exist at that level though. Besides, the change is not likely to survive an OS X update.
    If you really want to change it I'll post its location, but you'll be on your own if something breaks.
    Edit: You'd be facing the same problem as in your other question: How to change folder symbol on desktop back to original? Modifying the Mac's basic user interface fundamentals can result in instability. If you want to perform that sort of customization anyway, always have a backup strategy in case something goes wrong. To learn how to back up and restore read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.

  • Friends Profile Pictures never update since instal...

    Hi Guys, 
    I have Skype on my Mac and my friends' profile pictures have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, updated since I installed it 2 years ago. In fact, if a friend asks me what I think of his/her new photo, I have to login to outlook.com, go to People, find the friend from my contact list and then finally see the latest pic. 
    Is there a way to fix this? If not, is this a known issue - can I expect it to be resolved in an update?
    Thanks!
    P.S.: I have tried reinstalling the application several times but no dice!

    Do you see profile pictures for any of your contacts at all? Or is it that you only see it for selected ones?
    All those that don't show a profile picture to you (but you've confirmed with them that they have one) can you check that right-clicking on their contact the menu doesn't show a "Resend contact request" option?

    Hey leande,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    To resolve this issue, I suggest re-installing BBM by going to www.blackberry.com/bbm and then restart the BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone and then test your avatars.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

    I am sorry but your question is not completely clear. What Apple product are you having problems with?
    If English is not your primary language, try posting in your native language.

  • Unable to see profile pictures

    I am new to this so someone please help. When I search for someone it shows no profile pictures at all. How am I suppose to know im adding the right person? I have the actual google.play app

    Hello, maryhigginbotha, and welcome to the Skype Community!
    Also, welcome to Skype for Android!
    Sometimes, users will opt to have their Profile Pictures hidden from all but their accepted contacts. In that case, you wouldn't be able to see those profile pictures. Sometimes, however, profile pictures won't be the most reliable ways when you consider that they can be copied and used to impersonate another user. I wouldn't rule it out that it could happen, albeit a low chance for ordinary people, but it can happen. 
    When you add someone, the best way to know that the person you're adding is genuinely the person you intend to add, you will want to clarify with the actual person their Skype Username. For example, there will always be many… many people named John Smith, but, if they joined Skype, each of them would have their own, unique username that you wouldn't find doubles of. 
    Keep in mind that their display name, which may be displayed instead of their username, is not always the same as their username. When checking for the correct username, check the value under the field "Skype Name" for best results. When in doubt, check their other online usernames - it's a common trend to see Skype names match up with other services' usernames. 
    If you're still having trouble finding the right person, consider searching for the specific person using their e-mail address. In addition, if you're having trouble finding them, consider having them find you. 
    Should you still need further assistance or if you would like to ask another question, please don't hesitate to post again!

  • Lync 2013 Profile picture extension

    Our company recently switched to Lync 2013 and I noticed that under "Settings/My Profile Picture" there is no longer an option to specify a profile image. In Lync 2013 you could at least set a picture with less than 30kb that is hosted on a webserver.
    The funny thing is I can use my Lync 2013 server account with the old Lync 2010 client and then I'm still able to set a profile picture (tested & woks). Seems as Microsoft just killed this feature in the client but not on the server (LOL!?!?).
    I would like to write a tool to be able to set a picture without having to install the old Lync 2010 client. Any hints, solutions or something to read?

    This question comes up more often. It's indeed just a user interface change between the Lync 2010 and 2013 clients, the option to set an image URL has been removed. Underwater this option is still available though, and you can publish a Photo URL to the server
    from a user endpoint, or from a powershell admin screen as posted in GodEater's
    answer.
    I answered with a description on how to publish photos using a user endpoint (wheter from client SDK or UCMA) here: Display
    User Picture in Lync 2013
    The latest Lync update (Lync Client CU3 (November Update)) has the option to set a photo added back to the GUI.

  • I lost all my profile pictures on Facebook when I sign in using Firefox...can you help?

    It's all in my question. If I sign in using Internet Explorer then all my profile pictures on facebook are there.

    #Be sure ''Tools > Options > Content'', "Load images automatically" is checked to display all images for all sites. In Firefox 4 and later you can click ''Firefox button > Options > Options > Content''.

  • Profile picture and status bar don't appear in Game Center

    I first signed up for Game Center when it was released in the days of iOS 4. I used my iPod Touch 2nd gen. There was no status bar or profile picture, but I didn't realize because I was new. I later changed to an iPhone 3GS when iOS 5 was released, and the iPhone was restored to the backup of my iPod Touch. After my iPhone was fully functioning, I retired my iPod Touch. I noticed then that I was missing the profile picture and status bar because my Game Center friends had them. In December 2011, I bought myself an iPad 2 Wi-Fi. Still, no profile picture or status bar. I am confused, because my iPhone and iPad are running the latest version of iOS, 5.1.1. I have done plenty of troubleshooting, with no answer. Please help me.

    Yeah, my internet is on and working too. I have been looking in to this issue- I have emailed Apple to make them aware. It seems like it is affected most, if not ALL tbe Game Centers on 2nd Gen and from what else I've heard, 3rd gen devices too. Whether this is intentional I don't know- it seems odd that everyone has suddenly been disconnected from their games tab on Game Center older devices, so perhaps it is a ploy by Apple to ensure more people switch to a newer device? We'll see. For now, I would recommend you follow the posts I've put up previously too. See my profile for my contributions.
    Thanks, and add me on Game Center if you like.
